Re: Re: TOC at the NEC

Welcome to the forum….

I am betting the sale of that splitty would cover the cost of a decent Traction specially if you were to come over to France for your search. My first cars were beetles, in fact my first one came with a broken engine and I rebuilt the whole engine in my shed in Saltash. Then found out the door of the shed was to thin to get the engine out 😆 I swapped engines between my beetle and my ’72 combo when times got tough and only had one good engine between them. Then we went off to ascension island for a year and bought a beach buggy which was shipped over with us. A great year in the sun with two small kids – photo of it even got into Volks World at the time.

I would love a splitty van though. Maybe if this Traction Renovation doesn’t kill me I might get back into a VW of some sort – I much prefer the air-cooled stuff…hence I have a couple of 2CVs to mess around with.
